Canyon Park Cabin

These photos were taken from the pond, in a little boat. You can’t quite tell from this shot but that thing was huge. It was growing out of pure rock, it went up 60ft. then there was a crook in it. And what you see in the sunlight is the top forty or fifty feet. It was really kinda hangin’ out over the pond. It was eery when you were on the water.

Then one day………… I was in town and when I got back, Lynn was like “you gotta go check this out”. It had tipped over! She was on the deck and heard it go down.

The stump is still there, on the cliff into the pond, all 10 foot of stump. The rest of it was in the pond and on the road. It had to be at least one hundred feet long. Check it out when you near the dam. Imagine the top of the tree in the road. You’ll see what I’m talkin’ about.

It took all summer to get it out. The first day we were lucky and had a crowd of people show up. We had a fire as big as a truck and threw stuff in it all afternoon. Then we still had the log in the pond. Mike Martin brought his tractor by and we fished out the forty foot log. Parts of it can still be seen. There is one big part being used for guiding runoff, and another part preventing driving into a swampy area.
